It probably would have taken two years even if the country was fully behind it and even then longer still as we pivot the economy away from the European single market and to whatever it is people envision comes next. Maybe it would be a bit quicker to get it past Parliament but a lot of process has been the Government dealing the EU without Parliament's involvement.
This isn't a simple thing we're doing.
And I agree it's been bad that other things have been put on hold. One of the arguments for May's deal is that we get beyond this part of the process.

I'm not calling the legitimacy of the referendum into question. It was legal e.t.c. I was just saying the close result is a problem for the government. Just under half the country being against what you're doing is hardly ideal. Imagine if the Scottish referendum had gone 51-49% to Leave or something, trying to build a new country that almost half of it didn't want to do.
